My little plums

Well, I officially hit the 12 week milestone yesterday.  We went in for our 12 week ultrascreen that tests for down syndrome yesterday.  My hubby couldn't go because of work so my Mom came.  Both babies looked perfect and had great heartbeats.  Baby A was squirming around and not cooperating one bit...I guess this kid is going to give me a run for my money :) Baby B was laying as nice as can be sucking their thumb.  The woman giving me the sonogram told me she wasn't a doctor but from what she saw she thought everything looked good. She said she doesn't know how my blood work will come out though.  So fingers crossed when we go to the doctors next week everything is a ok.  It was great having my Mom there...I think it made it really real for her.  She cried when she heard their heartbeats.  As we were leaving she gave me a gift bag and said now I can give this too you.  It was 2 super cute outfits.  I had told everyone not till I hit 12 weeks did I want anyone buying anything or giving me gifts. So last night my brother and his girlfriend gave me 2 outfits and 2 books as well.  We told the rest of our family last night and spilled the beans to the facebook world today.  Its so nerve wracking that everyone knows now. Last night I also asked my 2 brothers to be godfathers and my cousin to be a godmother.  I still have to ask my other friend.  Our next OB appt is in a week and thats when we get the results back and hear the babies hearts on the doppler.  I'm so excited.

Limes Please

Well we finished up week 10 and officially hit week 11 today. And to kick off 11 weeks when I was at work I threw up so hard that I literally peed my pants....A LOT.  Needless to say I had to go home early.  Since yesterday I have had an awful headache that won't go away.  I'm laying here with a wet rag on my head as I speak. I can't wait for next week!!! A week from today we have our ultrascreen for down syndrome, but that also means I get to see my 2 little sweet peas...who are now the size of limes. I just can't wait to see there heartbeats and how they've grown...its definitely good for my sanity.  DH has to work so my Mom is coming with me, which is actually really exciting and cool.

I can almost see the finish line..

That is to the end of the first trimester. I've been meaning to write here alllll week but I keep having 50 million other things to do. I am 10 weeks 3 days today! I went in for my 10 week sono and the babies are still measuring 4 days behind but the doctor has assured me over and over that that as fine.  He said they look great and have great heartbeats. On the 25th (exactly 12 weeks), I have my ultrascreen, which will test for down syndrome.  But after I see the babies continued growth and heartbeats on that, we are going to spill the beans to the rest of our family and friends. Then on the 2nd (13 weeks 1 day), we go back to the OB and get our ultrascreen results and we get to hear their heartbeats on the doppler.  It will be  the first time dh hears them.  As for now, thankfully I dont have the severe constipation (I acutally had to do an enema last week....HORRIBLE) but I do have the nausea still.  I actually woke up at 2am and had it and its just finally starting to disappear...for now.  Acid reflux has shown up like 3 times, but it was only really bad once. But like I said a million times, I'll do whatever it takes.

2 Little Green Olives

Happy 9 Weeks to me!!! Today the babies are 9 weeks old and the size of green olives.  They have really grown a lot from the poppy seeds they were a few weeks ago!!! I'm excited to start week 9 because it means I am a mere 3 weeks away from the much anticipated 12 week mark. Next week at 10 weeks we go back to the OB for our 10 week appointment. I already have a 12 week ultrascreen for down syndrome set up for the 25th at exactly 12 weeks.  No matter how those results come back wouldn't change how we feel or would do about the babies but I would like to be prepared if something did come back bad. This morning I had a little heart failure. My 25-30lb King Charles sat on my stomach and thats what woke me up.  So now, of course, I've been worrying that he hurt the babies. Never a dull moment I'm always worrying.  I think I'll call the OB tomorrow and tell them just to hopefully ease my mind.

Nausea, Vomiting, Constipation...Oh My!

Well this is what week 8 brought for me. First my morning sickness...or what I like to call my anytime sickness kicked in. It was just nausea first but soon after the vomiting came. As of Saturday the very painful constipation has started but I would do it all a million times over for my little ones! The doctor had prescribed me Zofran for the nausea. I took one Sat because it as pretty bad and then I took one this morning as well.  A week from today we have our next sono!
